So, You Want to be the Next High Commissioner? 2014

Day 4 of our HR Youth
training started with our traditional morning recap, where
participants gave their feedback on Day 3
as well as the Universal Periodic Review simulation game. We really
appreciated receiving constructive comments which will be truly beneficial for the future.

We
then moved on to our Project Development two-day intensive training conducted by Matteo
Guidotti.

After introducing key concepts relative to Project Cycle Management and frameworks for analysis, he invited our participants to conduct exercises aiming at defining challenges, risks and opportunities when designing projects. He relied on the planning part of project management, which is a crucial point to reach successful outcomes.

He took concrete examples and asked participants to discuss the objectives of project management. For instance, they dealt with the conditions for setting up a new hospital to reduce maternal mortality in a developing country.
